Chapter 587 Wait and see what happens
"All irrelevant personnel, disperse. Enforcement team is taking over this area!"
A squad of guards clad in golden alchemical armor completely sealed off the entrance to the Feng Clan Pharmacy.
After all the irrelevant people had left, the silver-haired youth who was leading the group, wearing a fitted and gorgeous silver armor, slowly stepped into the Feng Clan Pharmacy with his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"I heard there was trouble here, but I never expected a murder to happen. Can anyone tell me what happened?"
"Sir, this man caused trouble at our Feng Family Pharmacy. The owner taught him a lesson, but for some reason, he committed suicide," Manager Wei quickly explained.
"Oh! Suicide?"
The silver-armored youth walked towards the man's corpse. After seeing the wounds, his eyes flickered slightly. "It doesn't look like suicide to me. It looks more like he died from excessive blood loss."
"So it was you who killed him." The silver-armored youth approached Shen Xu.
Looking into the young man's eyes, Shen Xu smiled and apologized to everyone, saying, "I am very sorry for what happened at Feng's Pharmacy today."
I promised Uncle Qian that I would take good care of Feng's Pharmacy, but this happened on the very first day Uncle Qian left. I feel really ashamed.
After I left, Feng's Pharmacy temporarily closed. Apart from the three managers who stayed to take care of the medicinal herbs, everyone else was given a holiday while I was away, but their wages were still paid.
But I can assure you that everything will return to normal.
"Manager Wei, thank you for your trouble."
"You didn't kill the owner! So many people can testify to that," Manager Wei said urgently.
"Do you want me to hand over my personal belongings?" Shen Xu asked the silver-armored youth.
"Since you've been so cooperative, you can keep them. After all, you're only a suspect now, and the Enforcement Hall never wrongs an innocent person," the silver-armored youth said with a smile.
"I hope so," Shen Xu said with a smile. He had completely lost today.
He was a high-ranking official in Fengyu Tower, so the silver-armored youth's actions must have been approved by someone above him.
People from big cities are indeed ruthless; they don't even spare their own people.
He remembered that the last time he went to a similar place was also because he hurt someone, but the memory of that time was not very pleasant.
However, if Chi Xiaorou knew he was in such a sorry state, she would probably be very disappointed in him!
But now he can only hope that Chi Xiaorou can get him out of trouble.
It's unclear who sent him such a generous inaugural gift. According to the fine traditions of Blue Star, he should reciprocate with a gesture of goodwill.
"It's rare to see someone about to be imprisoned in the Hall of Law Enforcement smile."
"You've seen it now, haven't you?" Shen Xu said with a nonchalant smile.
"I think I won't see you again soon," the silver-armored youth said with a smile.
……
The third floor of Feng's Pharmacy.
Amidst numerous memory crystals shimmering with a faint light, Chi Xiaorou sat quietly cross-legged, with a subtle humming sound of energy flowing through the air.
On the base in the center of the room, a simple bronze mirror about three feet in diameter is suspended.
The mirror did not reflect human figures, but rather resembled a bottomless, icy pool, shimmering with a cold, profound light.
The mirror frame is engraved with the unique, ever-flowing runes of the Wind and Rain Tower, and the mirror surface occasionally ripples like water.
Each memory crystal core, shimmering with a faint light, is connected to the bronze mirror.
Countless pieces of information were stored in the memory crystal core according to numerous subcategories such as region, people, and events, and were presented to Chi Xiaorou through the bronze mirror.
Finding the corresponding information according to the needs is one of the tasks of the mirror master.
“You’ve already mastered the goggles completely, so there’s nothing more I can teach you,” the old man surnamed Huo said calmly.
"Thank you, Elder Huo!" Chi Xiaorou stood up and bowed, a happy smile on her face.
"I will be leaving here today, and the second floor of Feng's Pharmacy is yours to live in."
"So fast!" Chi Xiaorou was a little reluctant to part with it; she had learned a lot from the old man.
"When people get old, they become confused about some things, so it's better to leave early," the old man sighed softly.
"Old Huo, you're still in good spirits, how can you say you're confused!"
"I still need you to handle things outside, so don't come to see me off. I'm too old to bear parting." The old man handed her a note and then turned and left the room.
Chi Xiaorou opened the note and found that it seemed to be a question Shen Xu had asked during the transaction, but she didn't understand why Old Master Huo would give her this.
If we ask her to answer, isn't it a bit too late?
To prevent any accidents, she still found the answer to the question in the memory crystal and sent it to Shen Xu.
When she returned to the first floor, she found the pharmacy's doors tightly shut, and a faint smell of blood lingered inside.
This gave her a bad feeling.
The good news is that there are still people working in the pharmacy.
"Manager Wei, what exactly happened at the pharmacy?" Chi Xiaorou asked anxiously.
"Third Miss, you've finally arrived!"
"The boss... he's been taken away by law enforcement. You must find a way to get him out."
When Manager Wei saw Chi Xiaorou, it was as if he had found his pillar of support, and he immediately felt at ease.
"Don't rush, speak slowly."
"Okay, around noon, a man suddenly came to the pharmacy shouting that there was something wrong with the medicinal herbs..."
As Manager Wei quickly explained the cause and effect of the matter, Chi Xiaorou soon understood what had happened, and her gaze gradually turned icy cold.
She really didn't expect that some people would be so impatient, wanting to take action against Wu Hen even though Uncle Qian had only been gone for a few days.
They were even willing to damage the reputation and standing of the pharmacy in order to bring down Wu Hen.
She even went to great lengths to get Old Master Huo to stop her; it was utterly lawless!
However, she was a newcomer and didn't have many connections in Dan Ding City. She knew nothing about Uncle Qian's connections, and they might not necessarily choose to help Wu Hen.
To rescue Wu Hen, we must find the Dark Pavilion.
However, as the Mirror Master, she did not know the whereabouts of the Dark Pavilion, and things seemed to have reached a dead end.
"Manager Wei, you don't need to concern yourself with this matter. Focus on your work. I will bring Wu Hen back."
Chi Xiaorou reassured Manager Wei that no matter how urgent the situation was, she must not panic.
After calming down, Chi Xiaorou returned to the third floor. Her first priority was not to find a way to rescue Wu Hen, but to report the matter to headquarters.
The fact that Mingge of Danding City was taken away by the Law Enforcement Hall is no small matter. No matter how much this matter affects Wuhen, she cannot hide it.
As the light from the information nodes in the room continued to flash, the runes in the wind and rain mirror began to fluctuate rapidly in a special pattern.
Once the runic light from the Wind and Rain Mirror had completely subsided, Chi Xiaorou sat upright in front of the mirror, staring intently at the calm surface before her.
And she didn't have to wait long at headquarters.
As the crystal nodes in the room flickered again, changes gradually appeared on the mirror surface, but quickly disappeared.
Upon seeing this, Chi Xiaorou clenched her fists. "What does 'wait and see' mean?!"
The fact that they replied to her so quickly suggests that the person who received her message did not report the matter to their superiors, or that their superiors were the ones who orchestrated this whole thing!
